Revolutionary greetings sons and daughters of the soil, Here is a quiz: "What is better to lose both capital and the African agenda or lose capital and have the African agenda or have capital and lose the African agenda." Without influencing your answers, bear in mind that policies such as GEAR, and even the South African constitution (property clause quickly comes to mind here) are all but designed to protect minority interests - read this to mean settler interests. Remember politics is about the seizure of state power (by any means necessary - hook or crook), and power is about money. The entire African Diaspora has ring-fenced itself 'round this winner takes all foreign ideology, they blow hot and cold, take this European trash and turn it to African treasure.
A Zulu monarch, king Cetshwayo once challenged this sh*tstym called democracy which he argued to be a system best at satisfying few people at the expense of the unsuspecting majority. It is basically a system of government by way of co-option. The army and the police are there only to serve one purpose - perpetuation and sustainability of the system. Dissenters are easily ridiculed and dubbed agent provocateurs and enemies of the state. We only see demands made during electioneering met by brutal force (kraag) accompanied by baton beating, rubber bullets shooting and tear-gassing. In worst case scenarios by detention and even death. This simply validates a scientific assertion that human beings naturally harbour autocratic and despotic tendencies which they have inherited from their own primate ancestors, the Homo Sapiens. Now, how dare South Africa pride itself of having drafted the best constitution in the world when the vast majority of the African population is permanently trapped in poverty in their partly tarred neighbourhoods. Problem is, persons we admired, correctly so, who are now taking potshots at the compradores in the ANC government are all getting stipends from the same government by virtue of being graduates from exile or Robben Island. It's do or die, sink or swim Ma-Afrika! We need to be smart and not be too hard on ourselves, we owe it to the PAC and the entire continent of Africa and her children. When even monkeys could fall from trees which is a turf they are familiar with, then Africanists who have swelled the ranks of the ruling party know that the eschatology of ruling 'till parousia making the centenary hullaballoo sempiternal is paralogistic. That's for sure. Heed this unsolicited advice and indeed one day Sobukwe's message will be resurrected, Izwe Lethu!!! ps: A deliberately haggard-looking Kwame Ture (formerly known as Stockley Carmichael) was once told by the late Mirriam Makeba on their wedding day that "we are not fighting to remain in the mud."

He deals with myth and falsehoods in the media on the life of Malcom X. Relate this development to the silence on Malcolm X that dominated Black America for more than two decades after his death. The uprising of youth in Atlanta and Los Angeles in the nineties - who identified with the powerful message of Malcolm X that the US itself was a bigger prison and African Americans were inmates - was ignited by police brutality on an innocent and defenseless young man. Subsequently, the image of X was in fashion, it was commercialized and Spike Lee even produced a successful full length movie. Sobukwe at the moment in South Africa will form a rallying point for a grassroots revolution. Snippets like the SABC documentary and concerted efforts to publicize the ideas of Prof will spark a prairie fire. Reuel Khoza uses Prof as a beacon of light in leadership principles in his book, "Attuned Leadership - African Humanism as Compass" (2011). Khoza is today emboldened to openly express his misgivings on the government's lack of leadership. Our own internal tsotsi elements, who aim to steal the Party from its members, have their backs against the wall. They are blocking the free flow and blossoming of the ideas of Sobukwe from reaching the masses, when they selfishly hoard the PAC as their own. They stole NACTU from its members (and stole R79m from the workers) and rendered it a toothless labor body (See M&G March 30 - 4 April 2012, p12). They cannot be allowed to do the same damage to the PAC. The reality is that PAC is the African people - as Chairman Pokela used to say. The democratic process of openness and consultancy with all the members, returning to constitutionality in the PAC and subjecting ourselves to scrutiny in a fair manner in a national conference, ahead of holding a congress - forms the bedrock principle of democratic centralism. The tsotsis deny this process and want to smuggle themselves fraudulently as leaders. Take heed, sons and daughters of Afrika. Mangaliso Sobukwe will never die.
